Volatile22's Wealth Building (5yr+) Portfolio

[Volatile22]

Hey guys,

As gloomy as the market is right now we do have one thing to look forward to and that is the come back. Recently I have been toying with a ton of short term plays. Being 23 years young I figured it would also be a good time to start to build a long portfolio.

I haven't bought anything yet, but wanted to voice a few picks I think will be good in the long run. I figure if I build up a solid number of shares in these picks I will be very happy by the time I am 30.

I am going to start with a few picks and will add more as I come across them. I plan on updating this thread whenever I make changes to the portfolio. Please feel free to add input or your own long term plan if you have one.

To start I am looking at(with current PPS):
STT - 21.97(Would like to get in the teens)
STEM - 1.73
GS - 92.19
EGLE - 4.57(would like to get in under 4s)
GERN - 4.09
DRYS - 4.15

Riskier(but higher pay off):
BAC - 4.93
C - 1.54
HIG - 5.42

*have to work will update more later*

Still waiting for one of my smaller plays to come through. In the meantime I am accumulating some capital for the long plays. I will update once I start adding more to my long portfolio.

Current Long Holdings:
STEM

Why don't you play forex while you still young. If I still have small amount of money I will invest in forex to quickly build my wealth. It is definitely riskier but the money is still not much. When I reach decent wealth, I'll move to stock investing which is less riskier.
If my wealth is under 12 months earning / revenue then I will go for forex. After that I will go with stock. So if my monthly earning is $1000. I will go with forex if my wealth is under $12000.

GS and HIG have made huge turn arounds. PZE (192.37%) and F (+124.7%)also had a sweet run (I have been watching since June.)
